Camp Akiba was apparently a wondrously musical place
to be. Located in the majestic Poconos of Pennsylvania,
the camp not only provided the necessities of a great
summer camp (as you can see from the photo montage from
the album cover), but also provided its campers a chance
to record their musical stylings for posterity (or at
least until their record collection was dropped off at
the Goodwill).

I have two Camp Akiba records, and they both follow the
same pattern. Side A is taken up with the songs from the
camp's Color Days (a traditional activity at many summer
camps, in which the kids are split up into teams, assigned
a team color, and put through a grueling series of back-breaking
chores which are collectively known as "fun").
Side B is a series of show tune medleys, split up by year
(the littlest kids go first, then the older kids, then
the camp counselors).

This selection comes from a 1976 medley titled "Hooray
U.S.A." "Swanee" is handled by young Billy
Sigmon, who really knows how to belt out the Gershwin
classic. "Old Man River" is handled by Glenn
Scharf and Elise Levin, who don't quite have the chops,
but I admire their enthusiasm as they tackle such lines
as "you don't dast make the white boss frown."
Not exactly the best choice for camp kids to sing, but
hey, it was a different world 27 years ago, and now you
get to experience it.
